You're looking in the wrong place.

Probably going to have dinner at VP Pence's official residence. It's not a functioning observatory anymore FFS, it's the VP's home.
Sorry, I assumed.
It's a compound with multiple buildings.
The VP's home, and observatory buildings which apparently ARE functioning.
"The Vice President's house is on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory at One, Observatory Circle. While no tours are available, you can get your photo taken 'in front of' this house."
